What are Moink Balls?
Moo! Oink! Moink! I would ask my wife "why are you not laughing?" She would answer, "Because it's not funny". Welcome to the story of my life.....But it is that simple. If you are here reading this, you either came looking for these or saw the name and couldn't resist the curiosity. Most recipes will call for beef meatballs wrapped in bacon. I wanted to have some fun combining ground beef and ground pork in a larger ball to allow for a longer smoke.
Instructions to Make Moink Balls
Step One: In a large bowl combine all ingredients.
Use your hands to incorporate all ingredients together. Form it into round balls about 3 inches in diameter.
Step Two: Preheat your smoker or pellet or gas grill to 225°F. Place the Moink Balls into the preheated smoker and smoke for about 90 minutes or until the internal temp reaches 160 degrees F.
Optional: Baste with bbq sauce at about the hour mark.
Step Three: Remove the Moinks from the smoker and let rest on a tray for about five minutes before serving. Cover them with your favorite condiments to serve. Our favorites are sweet or spicy bbq sauce and grated cheddar. Serve them with your favorite side dishes.
